Bf2142 Server

[dawizhacker]

Im intrested in buying a server, yes buying it, i'm not intrested in leasing.

I want it to be able to run 64 players.
I have no idea how much they are worth...
Can any one enlighten me?

okay like buying the server and physically having it in your home? If you have a really good internet connection and about 700-800 dollars around you can build yourself one h3ll of a home server to host games on.

Im wondering can i use a normal computer and run it as a server, or is there some logic to why they call they servers and desktops?

Im willing to sacrifice my computer in order to run the game...

to run a server from your house... you would need a very good internet connection, like t1 or something. If you just have normal cable, that wont cut it for a 64 person server.

If i have a 10mb connection, could that do it?

it's mainly a difference in hardware standards. there's no reason why you can't set up an ordinary pc for this kind of server though, as long as it has the power for the servers you wish to run.

Would this make the cut?

AMD ATHLON 3500+ 2.2GHZ
DFI LANPARTY ULTRA-D
1 gig of ram
6600gt
140gig harddrive
either a 420,500,600,1800 PSU

And a 5MB connection...

why would you put a gaming graphics card in a dedicated server? that would be a waste of money unless you intend on using it for gaming as well. i think a dual core would be a good idea if you want it to run multiple servers and 2GB of ram would be handy too. the cpu wouldn't need to be that powerful, i think a Pentium D 820/920 would give ample power for a few servers.
